bad video...please help

Alright I'm going to do my best to describe what's going on with my video. I have been following the guide that is provided here.

After I rip a dvd(following the steps), it seems like every time there is motion in the movie(like a character waving their hand quickly), there seems to be white (and maybe other colors, it's to difficult to tell) horizontal bars on the video. Then I used premiere and exported it just to see if they would go away, but they didn't. The quality is great, it's just the bars. So I'm wondering how to fix it.

Anyone know what I'm talking about (or did I make no sense)?

Sounds like you are referring to interlacing noise.

This is not an inherently bad thing. Editing programs are designed to be able to handle interlaced footage.

For more info on interlacing, read <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... .htm">this page</a> (and the one that comes after it) in EADFAG.

However, you will want to get all those nasty little lines out of your finished product, because let's face it, no one wants to have to look at them. For instructions on how to inverse telecine or deinterlace after you're finished editing, read <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... html">this page</a>.

If the interlacing makes you so uncomfortable that you don't even want to have to look at it while you edit, read <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... html">this page</a> about inverse telecining with AVISynth before editing. This requires editing in 23.976 (not possible with Premiere) or 24 fps, rather than 29.97.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention: If you don't want to try to figure out AVISynth scripting, <a href="http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net">VirtualDubMod</a> also offers IVTCing and deinterlacing options; however, I've never tried them and therefore can't vouch for the quality thereof.

Sort of -- so long as you don't do anything more than basic operations, and never cut on interlaced frames.

Most editing programs, for example, have effects to do zooming and such -- but they assume progressive frames. Zooming interlaced video is obviously a bad idea.

Thank you! I'll try that out (hopefully that will fix it)
